Translator: Drakuro

T.N: Hmm, I guess there’s an invisible, cute naked female ghost in my house yesterday, since my nose started bleeding for no f.u.c.king reason. I’ve been having a fever for a week, and my throat still felt like s.h.i.+t. Anyone knows any fevers related with mosquito which leads to b.l.o.o.d.y nose?

Chapter 60:　Succession Ceremony

The news that Chronoire had secured the ring had spread, so the major personnel of the country including the Emperor had gathered in the throne room. If you slowly observed the surroundings, all of the people here seems to be two-faced. Even with their unconcerned face, you can't even think about what's inside their head. This is especially true for the prince, no wonder he's willing to attack the princess who is his own blood relative.

And at the end of the throne room, sitting on a luxurious throne is… the current Emperor who is also Chronoire's father. However his appearance really lacks any ambition, it really doesn't seems like the face of someone ruling a country.

Chronoire stood at the position closest to the throne, accompanied by us who stood behind her. Marcus and Lucius are also here. We're in a position that we can dash out at once if something were to happen to her.

On the other side a little bit of distance from us stood a man wearing fancy clothes embroidered with gold thread throughout his whole body. His age is somewhere around 30 years old? I guess that would be the prince. The men around him seems to be whispering a lot, and there's also the knight as the guard. The prince is glaring daggers at Chronoire, it really makes anyone who meet his eyes wants to flee. Chronoire confronts him with a calm smile. She is also the Emperor's daughter after all, even when facing the tension of the situation, it hasn't shown on her face at all. At this point it can be said who's the better one suited to be the Emperor.

[T.N: I love how my machine translate fancy clothes as 'gay clothes']

The Emperor sat motionless on the throne, and since no one is trying to take control of the place, the throne room is full of bustle. Although before this the prince had a superior lead in the succession rights, Princess Chronoire is able to overturn the situation by acquiring the Succession Ring. The people in this place are currently deciding on which faction they wanna side with. Which one is the enemy and which one is the ally, you really can't judge no matter how long you observe them.

Tearing up the noisy air, Chronoire shouted.

”Silence! Everyone are already present, now let's confirm the Succession Ring.” (Chronoire)

When Chronoire declares that, three people enter from the entrance of the throne room. At the lead is an old man wearing priest clothes with long hat. Following behind him are two women in priestess robe, and they approached the throne with a transparent cup along with water.

The three kneel when they arrived at the throne, and bowed to the Emperor.

”The head priest and the two followers bows to His Highness and the princess. We wish to get straight to the matter. I wished to check the authenticity of the Succession Ring right in this room.” (Head Priest)

”…Proceed.” (Emperor)

[T.N: Sorry, I can’t really word that well what the priest is trying to say, but it's at least 70% correct, I think.]

The Emperor only gave short answer to the head priest. Everyone inside the room silently watched as the two priestess pour water into the transparent cup. The head priest accept the ring from Chronoire, and held it high for all the members to see.

”The authenticity of this ring will be revealed with the Holy Grail and the Holy Water! The ring will s.h.i.+ne in white if it really is the real Succession Ring, but if it is fake the Holy Water will turn black!” (Head Priest)

When he said that, the head priest slowly sunk the ring into the Holy Grail that the nun is holding. The ring slowly sunk. There's no change on the ring inside the cup. While everyone are holding their breath, the ring at the bottom of the Holy Grail began to gradually emits pale light, as it gradually getting stronger and s.h.i.+ned in the vicinity. The head priest interrupts the people who are starting to make some clamor, and took out the ring and declares loudly.

”The truth has been shown! This is the genuine Succession Ring!” (Head Priest)
